This needs another pass and re-reading, has a bunch of outdated info :)

type should match/be compatible as well?

Can you please update this to not use deprecated/legacy APIs. Please
suggest bpf_object__open/bpf_object__load  and/or BPF skeleton as an
example.

BPF_PROG_ATTACH is incorrect, it's RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN, isn't it?

that's not how it works in C ;)

bpf_link__destroy(link);
